. >> that was vermont senator bernie sanders about two years ago. he was speaking up, speaking up, speaking up. at that point in protest against president obama's 2010 proposed tax deals compromise with the congressional republicans. technically, it wasn't an actual filibuster because he wasn't preventing republicans from speaking and doing business. he did go on for 8 hours and 37 minutes. no words on whether he used the sauna to dehydrate himself. i remember bernie sanders doing this and my twitter feed going nuts with enthusiasm after two years of saying we should get rid of the filibuster. then it was like go bernie, go bernie, go. i thought, we like it when it's our guy doing it. >> that's where we get the distinction. when i say filibuster, i'm knot talking about holding the floor. that's great. he had eight hours to get his point across. now the filibuster is i'm going to send an e-mail to mr. mcconnell, it's going to take 60 now. then you don't have that debate. you block it at the outset. we don't have that discussion. >> so it's changed. >

i want to play what bernie sanders said about the compromise on social security. not everyone will be happy with a deal if it is reached on both sides. >> just a few minutes ago i had a press conference with all the organizations. they are clear and they said you know what, we sacrificed enough. we lost our eyes and limbs. do not balance the budget on the backs of disabled vets and senior organizations and the american people are saying let's do deficit reduction in a way that is fair. >> so that would mean getting to the table, working out something that is fair, that is also consistent with what the american people have said through the election that they would like to see. >> you can see that the president's most recent offer to the republicans will be a tough sell. it is a balanced compromise. look what plan b does. it allows for more tax breaks. the average millionaire in the proposal from john boehner gets about a $50,000 additional tax break. the middle class gets increases because their plan eliminates the child care tax credits and others that the middle

the great senator bernie sanders of vermont is calling for action. >> we must not fail the unemployed workers of this country now. if congress does not act, it will mean that some 2 million people and their families will really be at a loss as to how to survive economically. >> if an unemployment extension is not included in the fiscal cliff deal, 2.1 million americans will face an immediate loss in federal unemployment insurance. it will result in a cut of $284 a week for the average beneficiary. and that's a lot of dough for the average american. it's important to keep in mind the unemployment cliff is really a cliff, urban a slope. tax increases and other spending cuts will fall into place over time. but not with unemployment insurance. unemployment americans who rely on federal aid will be cut off on january 1st, 2013. however, there is some good news on the unemployment front. the four-week average of job claims dropped to roughly 356,000. it's the lowest level since march 2008. but unfortunately, the national unemployment rate is still 7.7%. and if republicans in congress fail t
